The partnership between Marvel Studios and Netflix is an interesting one because it established some important components of the Marvel universe, despite several shows underperforming. Daredeviland Jessica Joneswere both hits that elevated their source material into mature, propulsive prestige shows; Luke Cagehad a more mixed first season that showed some growing pains, and Iron Fist was a complete misfire that felt out of touch. It seemed like an odd move to so quickly find a way for Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), Jessica (Krysten Ritter), Luke (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) to all team up, but The Defendersbrought together all four main Netflix heroes for a crossover hit in which they fought for the soul of New York City. While not perfect, The Defenders set a precedent for the type of worldbuilding that Marvel’s television universe would become capable of in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again.
